Barry brushed his thumb over her lower lip, winking teasingly. “Oh?
Barry brushed his thumb over her lower lip, winking teasingly. “Oh?
Kasey groaned slightly, this time in exasperation. “Barr… You’re cruel,” she muttered.
Barry's dimples only deepened after her statement. "I know~"
Kasey glared at him and poked one of his dimples, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Have I ever told you how much I like your dimples? They’re really cute.”
A light flush rose to his cheeks. "They seem to show up a lot when I'm around you….."
“I like that,” Kasey mused softly, brushing her thumb over the one she’d poked. “I like that I make you happy.”
Barry tilted his head to one side. "Of course you make me happy, Kase. Did you ever doubt that?"
Kasey’s smile faltered a little at his question. “Honestly… I did. When I was going through that time, I did. But now I know better. And I’m just glad that I can make you happy.”
Barry pressed a firm, comforting kiss to her lips. "And always will be. I just hope I can do the same."
Kasey smiled at the kiss, pressing one of her own to his lips. “Thank you. You always make me happy, babe.”
"That's my job~" he smiled softly, settling beside her on the bed.
“Mm, and you’re very good at it,” Kasey hummed, rolling over to face him.
Chuckling softly, he pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Shall we put on pyjamas, my fair lady?"
“Pajamas sound lovely, my good sir,” Kasey chuckled with him, smiling softly.
Barry laughed, bopping her house before rolling off the bed and to his feet. “You can take the bathroom, if you want.”
“M’kay. Thanks, love,” Kasey said with a smile, rolling or if bed herself and making her way to her dresser.
Barry offered her a soft smile and reached beneath his pillow for his own pyjamas. He couldn’t wait for the day that they could both be comfortable with each other’s bodies in a non-sexual way.. it symbolized a large step in their relationship.
(I almost had her suggest just getting dressed together… But I didn't know how to do that without making it awkward. Lol.)
Kaswy pulled her pajamas out of the drawer before turning back to Barry with a small smile. "Hey, guess what," she said softly, her smile slowly growing.
(Lol)
Barry arched a teasing eyebrow. “What?~”
"I love you," Kasey declared with a wide grin.
Barry placed both hands over his heart. “Aww… Kase, my heart is melting~”
Kasey snorted and crinkled her nose up. "You ruined it… I was trying to be cute, and you ruined it by being cuter. How rude," she teased.
Laughter burst forth from Barry’s lips, and after a moment, he leaned his elbow against the wall in a hilariously over-dramatic ‘seductive’ pose. “Would you rather I was smoking hot?”
Kasey blushed a little and looked away, clearing her throat. "I mean… I won't object to it," she murmured, drawing her gaze back to look at him.
Barry blinked and withdrew from the wall, surprised that she’d actually taken him seriously. “I was just joking,” he chuckled as a lazy smirk overtook his lips, “But, if the lady orders it so~”
With no intention to actually remove his shirt, wanting only to fluster her, he toyed ‘absentmindedly’ with the top button of his white chemise.
Kasey's eyes were wide, though not with shock or fear or anything like that. Simply with wonder at how her boyfriend could be so calm about this. She didn't know how he was so comfortable with undressing in front of her, but she wished she could be like that soon.
For now, though… Maybe she could handle him taking his shirt off. She couldn't be the one undressing quite yet, but she would someday.
"I knew you were joking, but I wasn't," she declared quietly, moving to sit on the edge of the bed. "I won't object."
(Not boyfriend anymore~)
Once again, Barry was taken by surprise. He hadn’t actually expected Kasey to respond to the teasing on such a way… and jt was extremely satisfying to watch her beautiful eyes go wide.
Moving with caution, he seated himself on the bed beside her. “I don’t want to do anything suggestive,” he tried to explain, “It’s just fun to tease you~ And… I’m not quite sure how to word this, but it would be nice if we were both comfortable around each other’s bodies one day. No pressure, no added connotations.”
(Ah, frick… I'm not changing it. Lol.)
Kasey nodded slowly, leaning over to rest her head on his shoulder. She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment before pulling back again to look at him with a small smile.
"I agree. Really, I do," she started softly. "And I'm comfortable with you now, I think, but… I don't know, I guess it's just harder for me? I mean, you've been my first for a lot of things. First boyfriend, first kiss, gave me my first tattoos… You're the first person who's seen more of me casually than anyone else because of the heat this summer. So I guess I already am more comfortable with you like that. But it's a little harder for me to get fully comfortable, probably because I just… I guess because I don't quite know what I'm doing? I'm not even sure…"
(Lol)
“I completely understand,” Barry soothed, slipping his fingers through her hair. “We’ve got the rest of our lives ahead of us; there’s no pressure. If you ever feel uncomfortable, tell me. I would much rather have you be at ease than be able to walk around shirtless all the time. Take all the time you need, okay?”
Amber chuckled a little, shooting a quick smile up at him. "I mean, you could do that if you really wanted. I just might stare at you and drool for the first few days," she half-joked.
